Massimino's

Massimimo's is a cute Italian restaurant near TD Garden. Very small seating limited. But, authentic Italian cuisine and the prices aren't too high considering you're in the city.

What a gem around TD Garden. Beautifully decorated and very inviting. People were friendly and service was excellent! Food was also excellent! We got Fried Calamari appetizer, Veal Parmesan , Lobster Ravioli, and Seafood fra Diavlo. Portions were plentiful and it was all excellent! So happy we found this amazing place. Reservations were necessary on a Sunday afternoon before a Celtics game!

We were thrilled to be able to be seated without reservations and to enjoy attentive service. We were seated in a small room on the main floor where they packed in customers like sardines, pretty much like we have experienced in Rome. Not really a problem. We adored the fried calamari because it was so fresh and tender. Plus, the presentation was celebratory. My husband absolutely enjoyed a pasta dish with limoncello and seafood. He thought the flavors were well balanced and cooked tenderly. I ordered the lasagna Bolognese. What I received was an unconstructed collection of papparadelli, ricotta, sauce (gravy) and mozzarella. It did not taste like Bolognese at all. In fact, there seemed to be no meat in it at all. And while the dish was alright, it was not what I asked for. I chose not to say anything because the noise level became too much for me, so I ate as much as I wanted and left the rest. Would I return? Yes, if I lived nearby. Massimino's has a long history here in the North End and that alone is reason enough to try it again.

The olive oil for the bread was incredible! Everything else... meh. The bread was stale, the Caesar salad was drenched with dressing, and the lasagna was bland. Disappointing.
